From 1969 to 1972 Scooby Doo had its glory run. A period of 19 years followed in which there were a good 5 to 6 incarnations of the show and they all sucked. In this day and age of reality television on whorish society let's talk about Scooby in realistic terms. I want to give a new breakdown of what would have happened to them after 1972.
Freddie Jones: The team captain and golden boy of the team. After 1972 Freddie was initially offered parts in American Graffiti, Paper Moon, Corvette Summer and was even offered the part of Han Solo in Star Wars. His demands for high salaries were too unrealistic and he was eventually reduced to guest appearances in Fantasy Island, Highway to Heaven, Emergency, and Falcon Crest. Freddie found himself looking for a new way to make money so he went into politics and ran unsuccessfully for US Congress, and Senate as an independent candidate whose platform was NO MORE OF THE SAME! Fred was disillusioned with politics and showbiz and became a very successful Commercial Real Estate broker. On a personal level Fred had a stormy relationship with Daphne that spanned from 1971 to 1978. Daphne and Fred had one child named William Alfred Jones. Today Fred and Willie are close and Fred and Daphne are on speaking terms. Fred still loves his cars avocado green and has a beautiful collection of ascots. Fred is still in litigation with Hanna Barbera for a his unpaid royalties.
Daphne Blake: Daphne was the sex kitten of the group, beautiful, exotic and fiery. After 1972 she was in a stormy relationship with Fred which spawned a child. From 1973 to 1974 Daphne was a regular on The New Dick Van Dyke Show Daphne was at one point rumored to be the love interest of Richard Dawson, host of Family Feud and her former co star. The rumors were not true as Daphne was famously repulsed by Richard Dawson's lascivious nature. After 1974 Daphne was a popular theatre star and appeared numerous times in "The Carol Burnett Show" and a regular guest on Mike Douglas. Daphne became dependent on painkillers but kicked the habit quickly after a stint in Betty Ford. Through the 80's Daphne focused on her music career, releasing 5 albums, 1 platinum and 4 gold. After her career stalled out in the 90's ad her grunge album "Red Crazy Society" tanked, she took a break. Daphne became an advocate for baby seals along with Brigitte Bardot. Today Daphne still does appearances, most notably in "JAG" and NCIS. Daphne and her son are extremely close and she and Fred maintain a good communication.
Velma Dinkley: "CHINKIES" Velma was the smart though socially awkward one of the group. A skilled writer, spectacular historian, and great conversationalist. Velma was Daphne's less attractive but really "amazing" friend. after 1972 Velma retired to her home in Beverly Hills, Velma was a shrewd investor so she had stashed a fortune in 3 short years. Velma established a clothing line to be sold in Sears, and Puerto Rican chain store Gonzalez Padin. The line was called Simply Velma. After the success of her line Velma wrote an autobiography detailing the debauchery at Hanna Barbera parties. She even detailed the near OD of Elroy Jetson, after leaning that he would no longer be employed if he grew any further. The book entitled " Heavens to Mergatron: Bunch of Asses" was a number one bestseller on the New York Times list for well over 47 weeks. Velma then wrote 5 thrillers, all of them number one. After 1987 Velma took a break and married She had twin boys, Ralph and Mitchell (b. 1988) and one girl, Gloria (b. 1990). After a 2002 divorce Velma has focused on her children and on her multiple business ventures.
Norville "Shaggy" Rogers: Shaggy was the constantly afraid, hungry, marijuana smoker. After 1972 Shaggy had nothing but a roller coaster life trying to focus on his music. Shaggy recorded a 1974 pop album with his girlfriend Josie. The album entitled " True Love" was certified gold. Success was short lived however as Shaggy and Josie split and Shaggy was almost immediately given a DUI. After spending 90 days in prison Shaggy was released to a career in shambles. By 1977 Shaggy had cleaned up his act and was now exercising regularly. In 1978 Shaggy was back in television doing guest spots in Fantasy Island and guest hosting "That's Incredible." Shaggy was on the comeback trail and everything was wonderful until 1982. When 1982 came around Shaggy fell of his bike on the pacific palisades busting up his leg and ankle and finding himself in rehabilitation with a new addiction to alcohol. After a long battle and several DUI arrests, Shaggy was clean and in the recording studio, he wrote many successful songs for Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, and Pearl Jam. Shaggy fathered three kids with his girlfriend Shelly from Jabberjaw fame. Currently Shaggy lives in his Montana ranch raising Black Angus cattle. Hemp is also a big part of The Rogers Ranch as well.
Scooby Doo: Scooby was the perpetually frightened dog. After 72' Scooby Doo became a producer for Hanna Barbera for 8 years. Scooby produced several shows from Astro to The Herculoids. In 1993 Scooby was instrumental in the sale of Hanna Barbera's catalog to Ted Turner for 394 million dollars. After a brief retirement Scooby attempted to launch his own superstation and after that failure led him to near bankruptcy Scooby found himself producing reality television and in crowded company as one of the many individuals to put his tongue down Paris Hilton's throat. Currently Scooby is attempting to produce a reunion show and a reality show based on the gang from Mistery Inc.
